The Bucket & Rain: Harnessing the Storm
…Their bucket, their vessel of preparedness, overflowed with water, a testament to their foresight and readiness. In contrast, the containers hastily assembled by others fell short, unable to contain the abundant blessings, and riddled with imperfections.
Healing Scared
“sometimes it takes your heart breaking a few times for you to become independent in important and healthy ways. heartbreak shows you that your self-worth and wholeness should not depend on another's words or love. use the hurt as a map that leads inward to pursue your healing and ignite your self-love.”
—young pueblo (clarity & connection, pg. 96)
The nerves can be quite present but taking that step, trying it out, really makes a difference. And maybe that's what yung pueblo is saying.
Encouragment for the Present
Looking back, I can tell you that there will come a time when you'll wake up and realize that the nightmare has faded.
You'll still feel the pain of the past but you'll also feel the encouragement of the present and realize that despite what heartache life throws your way, you have overcome what was impossible. Your heart will refresh as you continue to move forward.
Destined to Breathe
Drenched in these salty tears
Asking the question which I find myself repeating again:
Why am I so broken?
If I touch someone or let them in…will I break them too?
Why…. why am I so scared?
